the big hero of medicare. i don't understand that. >> claire mccaskill, he raised the issue of you wants to take $700 billion out of medicare. >> first, no one is saying private lenders can't lend to students. they can do that now. they just didn't want to do unless the federal government was backing them up and making a cut. all we did say take out the middle man who'saking a cut with no risk. i would thing congressman akin appreciate that. none is keeping banks from loaning to students. secondly on the medicare cuts, this is the biggest swapper of this campaign season. it is unbelievable to me that congressman akin will vote time and time again for same medicare savings. he knows that the ryan budget took that same saving, you know what they did with the saving, they gave another tax cut to kim kardashian, they gave another tax cut to lebron james, instead of what we need to do with the money, that is strengthening the medicare program. >> we must move on to the next questions here. the next questio goes to

enough for medicare-medicaid, not wealthy enough to buy their medicine. i've met them, people like mary annie and edward davis in nashua, new hampshire. all over this country, they cannot even buy medicine. so let's be careful. when we talk about cutting health care costs, let's start with the insurance companies and the people that are making a killing instead of making our people healthy. [applause] >> one minute, president bush. >> well, first place, i'd like to clear up something because every 4 years, the democrats go around and say, republicans are going to cut social security and medicare. they started it again. i'm the president that stood up and said, don't mess with social security, and i'm not going to and we haven't and we are not going to go after the social security recipient. i have one difference with mr. perot on that because i don't think we need to touch social security. what we do need to do, though, is control the growth of these mandatory programs. and ross properly says, okay, there's some pain in that. but governor clinton refuses

two unfunded wars, medicare part d. let them speak to that. mitt romney has it fantastical approach to arithmetic. at the bottom of it, there is a commitment and an ideology to insuring that the top 1% make out real well. those most vulnerable at the bottom of the society who need a helping hand in times of fiscal economic crisis are put aside. it is ideological and i think it is ideological and i think the term

medicare and medicaid fraud not only ross taxpayers. it also jeopardize the future of the program that more than 100 million americans depend on every day. the new penalties reflect the seriousness of the crime. dictating sentences of between 20 and 50 years for the largest offenses. finally, we have put in place some common-sense safeguards to prevent bad actors who have been kicked out of medicare from continuing to build state medicaid programs as if nothing has happened. simply put, health care fraud has never been a worse position than it is today. it is harder to get into the system. you are more likely to get caught if you do make a fraudulent claim. and when you do, you will pay a bigger prize. what motivates these efforts is the administration's commitment to keeping medicare and medicaid strong for those americans today and for future generations. . . rwwww >> i believe that the drawdown in afghanistan is well- positioned. i am actually an advocate of something that is more accelerated. i have been for quite some time. i

i will never turn medicare into a voucher. [applause] governor romney doubled down on the proposal last night, and he is wrong. no american should have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies. they should retire with the dignity they have earned. we will perform and strengthen medicare for a long haul, but reducing the cost of health care, not by asking seniors to pay thousands of dollars more, and we will keep promise of social security by taking the responsible steps to strengthen it. we will have a chance to talk about what is going on overseas, because our prosperity at home is linked to what happens abroad. four years ago, i promised to end the war in iraq, and i did. [applause] i said we would wind down the war in afghanistan in a responsible way, and we are.
